C-Carboxylation of enolates.1 Carboxylation of potassium enolates generated from silyl enol ethers is not regioselective because of extensive enolate equilibration. Regiospecific C-carboxylation of lithium enolates is possible with carbonyl sulfide in place of carbon dioxide. The product is isolated as the thiol methyl ester. If simple esters are desired, transesterification can be effected with Hg(OAc)2 (8, 444). Carboxylation of ketones in this way in the presence of NaH and DMSO is not satisfactory because of competing alkylation of the enolate.2 Example ... 

Alkyl sulfides and thiols. Some alkyl thiols and sulfides, notably those from commonly ingested Allium sativum (garlic) and Allium cepa (onion) (Alliaceae), are variously bioactive as odorants and antimicrobials. Propanethial S-oxide (CH3-CH2-CH=S=0) is a lachrymatory irritant principle of onion. Allicin (S-oxodiallydisulfide CH2=CH—CH2-SO-S-CH2— CH=CH2), diallyldisulfide (CH2=CH-CH2-S-S-CH2-CH=CH2) and diallylsulfide (CH2=CH—CH2—S—CH2-CH=CH2) are major odorants of garlic that are reactive and irritant because of the allyl groups. Dimethyl disulfide (CH3—S—S-CH3), dipropyl disulfide (CH3-CH2-CH2-S-S-CH2-CH2-CH3), methyl allyl disulfide (CH3-S-S-CH2-CH=CH2) and propane-1-thiol (CH3-CH2—CH2—SH) are further Allium odorants. Methane thiol (methyl mercaptan CH3—SH) is a widespread plant volatile and notably derives from anaerobic bacterial degradation of cysteine as in human flatus and bad mouth odour. The aliphatic disulfides allicin and ajoene inhibit proinflammatory expression of iNOS.

Several structurally different diketones (acetylacetone, methyl 2-oxocyclohex-ane carboxylate) and active methylene compounds (diethyl malonate, ethyl aceto-acetate) and thiols (methyl thioglycolate) underwent clean, fast, and efficient Michael addition with methyl vinyl ketone, acrolein, and methyl acrylate over NaY and Na beta zeolites [88] in high yield (70-80%). The reactions were performed in the absence of solvent, at room temperature, with 1 g catalyst per mmol donor. When HY zeolite was used instead of NaY formation of the desired Michael adduct was low and polymerization of Michael acceptor was the main reaction.

In 1979, Sayer et al (291) used l,3-dimethyl-5-(p-nitrophenylimino)-barbi-turic acid as a flavin model and were able to isolate a covalent intermediate in the reduction of this highly activated imine substrate by a thiol (methyl-thioglycolate or mercaptoethanol). 

Steric effects of the substituents in positions 4 and 5 cannot shift the protomeric equilibrium sufficiently to permit spectroscopic observation of the thiol form (43b) ultraviolet spectra of 4-terr-butyl-5-methyl-A-4-thia2oline-2-thione (49a) in neutral solvents do not reveal any trace of the thiol protomer (49bi (Scheme 21) (70). 

Ethyl-cf-chloroacetoacetate gives 5-carbethoxy-4-methyl-2-thiazole thiol (387), while 3-chloro-2,4-pentanedione affords the 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazolylmethylketone in good yield (74%) (387).

The molecular weight of a polymer can be controlled through the use of a chain-transfer agent, as well as by initiator concentration and type, monomer concentration, and solvent type and temperature. Chlorinated aUphatic compounds and thiols are particularly effective chain-transfer agents used for regulating the molecular weight of acryUc polymers (94). Chain-transfer constants (C at 60°C) for some typical agents for poly(methyl acrylate) are as follows (87) ... 

Conversion of carbon in the coal to gas is very high. With low rank coal, such as lignite and subbituminous coal, conversion may border on 100%, and for highly volatile A coals, it is on the order of 90—95%. Unconverted carbon appears mainly in the overhead material. Sulfur removal is faciUtated in the process because typically 90% of it appears in the gas as hydrogen sulfide, H2S, and 10% as carbonyl sulfide, COS carbon disulfide, CS2, and/or methyl thiol, CH SH, are not usually formed. 

Acid-Gatalyzed Synthesis. The acid-catalysed reaction of alkenes with hydrogen sulfide to prepare thiols can be accompHshed using a strong acid (sulfuric or phosphoric acid) catalyst. Thiols can also be prepared continuously over a variety of soHd acid catalysts, such as seoHtes, sulfonic acid-containing resin catalysts, or aluminas (22). The continuous process is utilised commercially to manufacture the more important thiols (23,24). The acid-catalysed reaction is commonly classed as a Markownikoff addition. Examples of two important industrial processes are 2-methyl-2-propanethiol and 2-propanethiol, given in equations 1 and 2, respectively. 

Examples of thiols prepared using this type of technology are 2-methyl-l-propanethiol, 1-butanethiol, and 2-butanethiol, in equations 3—5, respectively. 

The piefeiied route depends upon the avajlabihty of a hydrogen atom in the beta-position to the thiol group. In other words, a-toluenethiol (in toluene) decomposes to give 1,2-diphenylethane and hydrogen sulfide, via the homolytic route, whereas 2-methyl-2-propanethiol decomposes to give 2-methyl-1-propene and hydrogen sulfide. 

Mercapto derivatives of furan, thiophene, selenophene (77ACS(B)198) and pyrrole (72AJC985) all exist predominantly in the thiol form. 2-Mercaptobenzothiophene is also a thiol (70JCS(C)243i) whereas 2-mercaptoindole is mainly indoline-2-thione (89) (69CPB550). The finely balanced nature of this system is indicated by the fact that a 3-aryl, but not a 3-alkyl, substituent will stabilize the 2-thiol form, whereas for 3-aryl-fV-methyl derivatives the 2-thione tautomer is preferred (71CC836).
